3. South Africa - has a constituntional monarchy in the form of a parliamentary democracy type of government.The discovery of diamonds in 1867 and gold in 1884 encouraged economic growth and immigration, they called this Mineral Revolution. Apartheid was a system of legal racial segragation enforced by the National Party government of South Africa between 1948 and 1994. Nelson Mandela served as president of South Africa from 1994-1999. He was the first South Africian president to be elected in a democratic election. I gave South Africa a 3 because I thought that there was alot of interesting & important facts about its history,but it was the least modern country with the worst economy.

2. Madrid, Spain - It is the third largest city in the European Union, after London and Berlin. Its metropolitan area is the third largest in the European Unionafter Paris and London. While Madrid possesses a modern infrastructure, it has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighborhoods and streets.During the dictatorship of Francisco Franco, especially during the 1960s, the city experiences unprecedented, extraordinary development in terms of population and wealth, becoming the largest GDP city in Spain, and ranking third in Western Europe. After the death of Franco, emerging democratic parties accepted King Juan Carlos I as both Franco's successor and as the heir of the historic dynasty – in order to secure stability and democracy. This led Spain to its current position as a constitutional monarchy, with Madrid as its capital. I gave Spain a 2 because its country is modern, but still has a historic appeal to it. I don't trully care for the type of government they have.
